This cabin is quirky and full of charm- it truly feels like a treehouse. 4 stars only because the cabin is quite dark during the day and kitchen didn’t have dish towels or hotpads. Very minor!

Quirky, eclectic, charming and funky best kick off a description of this interesting rental up in the hills nearby downtown Guerneville! The owners have made a perfectly interesting rental our of this 1920's gem. Their avant-garde sense of taste is everywhere. In short, eye candy for the entire trip, so statues, lamps, antique chairs or fascinating pictures adore every inch. The beds are VERY comfortable - like, better than home. Kitchen is very functional with lots more pots and pans than the average rental. Outdoor dining or taking in a cocktail on the back deck at dusk are a must. Not a great option for families with young kids that will get into everything (but fine for teenagers that will appreciate the decor and earthiness). Easy communications, issue-free check in. A LITTLE bit hard to find - try and arrive during daylight that first time (winding roads, missed street signs, etc.). But worth the search. Super clean and tidy. A little creaky and antiquated - so if you don't like old places - avoid. Easy drive to downtown; 20 minutes to Healdsburg Square and its myriad wineries. Highly recommended - we'll be back!

We spent Christmas at this cozy treehouse. It was an amazing place to relax for a few days. Cool decor/furniture, tree views and the house within walking distance to the river. Would definitely come back.

Fun eclectic treehouse in Rio Nido. Walking distance to Rio Nido Roadhouse. Be ready to unplug as no phone reception but wifi good. Living area a bit uncomfortable with low light and furnishings. Patios and bedrooms very nice and comfortable.

We loved staying at this cozy unique cottage!

The deck is wonderful, the town is colorful, the trees are beautiful :)

This place was fun! We enjoyed the coziness of the beds, the cleanliness and the beautiful view of the redwoods. Please up your coffee game, though. We were disappointed to have to venture into town to stock up!

Fun, unique getaway

Really liked the house— it feels like a secluded quirky tree house in the woods. My one complaint was that it’s a bit dark in the house, but didn’t affect my experience. Location is fantastic. Thanks for a fun weekend.

This is a very unique home with lots of charm. It was very clean and everything worked as expected. Rio Nido and the surrounding area is a lot of fun.

Loved the woods and the “get away feeling”. The home is beautifully and Electic in decor. Very comfy bed and bedding.

Everything we needed was here. It is a great location in the hills and every window view was breathtaking. I would recommend staying here as the location was perfect for us. The town of Gueneville is close with great restaurants.

My wife and I rented the Treehouse and were very disappointed to find that the property is not at all secluded as the photos represent and is in a very busy/noisy neighborhood. The interior is indeed decorated in an artsy, boho-style, by someone with a nice eye for unique accessories. However, in person it's overcrowded and dark, and the living room seems like a cluttered storage area for excess used furniture, none of which is comfortable to sit in. And while rustic was implied, it could use a deep-cleaning and some handyman attention (very old windows with warped, cobwebby screens, cracked dirty skylight, dirty shelves in refrigerator, ants in kitchen, lights outside that didn't work). The electrical in the house was rigged (extension cords to lighting snaking everywhere). The weekend was very hot, and the home is not air conditioned (we had to dig to find an old fan in a closet - no comment from property manager Theo to address the uncomfortable temperature). The living room does not have windows that open or a bug screen on the door, and the temperature inside exceeded a sweltering 85 in the evenings. Our only recourse was the deck. The largest deck has no comfortable chairs to sit in (just rickety recliners). The photos are deceiving, as this home is not secluded. It is right in the midst of and overlooking many other cabins with raucous neighbors, barking dogs, music, etc. A neighborhood Rec Center with peewee golf course is visible (and within earshot) from the deck with a fairly well-trafficked local street winding by (trucks, campers, etc.). Worse is the proximity to the Rio Nido Roadhouse (at base of hill) - a large bar that plays amplified music OUTSIDE until 10pm which is impossible to ignore from the deck. The listing should at a minimum disclose the amplified Roadhouse music. The fact that The Treehouse is billed as a "relaxing getaway" is very misleading in combination with the photos shot only from angles that imply the property is secluded. We tried multiple times to reach Theo (phone, text, email) to come up with a solution. No response. Miserably hot, with no quiet place to go, we gave up and drove home to the Bay Area at 9pm at night, a day early. We texted that we left early due to our unpleasant say. Still no acknowledgement. Note also that the Treehouse is on a steep, extremely windy one-lane access road with a small, creaking deck parking space that is challenging to park in without a compact car. Communication is poor

I recommend this place highly. The setting was beautiful, location super convenient and beautifully styled. If you are looking for something more than just the average cabin, this is it. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The living room furniture also comfortable. Outdoor space awesome.

The Treehouse was such an amazing experience. We really enjoyed the beautiful art inside the house. You will spend your entire time finding little pieces of art in every corner! You will get to enjoy relaxing in the living area listening to jazz and admiring the beautiful trees outside. There is a little gas fireplace that made the trip complete! We would wake up, turn on the fireplace, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and just RELAX! The rooms were very comfortable; best nights rest I have had in a long time. The whole house was immaculate, and I am a neat freak! The only recommendation I will give is to have a small car. We had been given a large car by the rental office and had a very tough time getting to the house. You will go up a very tiny canyon road and will be making some scary hairpin turns. (This is tough for Midwest people; we drive in straight lines!). Staying at the house is definitely worth the drive on that road, but just be ready if you aren't used to this kind of driving!

We had a great time staying at the tree house! It is just as lovely as you see in the photos, and a cute little town close to tons of good restaurants and vineyards. Dale was amazing and told us all the good places to check out. Just a few things to note, the house is up a windy road and you park on a wooden deck. We were driving a uhaul van and had no idea we would be parking in the narrow driveway, which caused some issues when we arrived at night and there wasn't much light to help us figure out how to back into the space. All that to say, Dale showed up and helped us park and showed us around the house and was very accommodating and helpful. He had tons of suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the nearby area which was greatly appreciated since neither of us had been to the area before. One other thing to note: we received an email from Theo saying thank you for booking your stay in Barbados. This was very alarming to me and raised a few red flags, but note that Theo also manages properties in the Barbados area. Thanks again to Dale and Theo for a lovely stay! We hope to see you again soon.

We have used VRBO several times during our travels and have always had a great experience. This "tree house" was more than great! It was not only a beautifully breathtaking, clean, comfortable and quaint cottage in the Red Woods, it was an over whelming experience of peace. The owners of this "gem" went over and beyond to share this true gift. Whether your getaway is with girlfriends or a romantic stay with a special someone, I HIGHLY recommend this "Tree House" in Rio Nido. I can't wait to return! Thank you so much for this treasure in the trees. Sincerely, Yaya Stephany
